"Expansive...transcendent music...never meager."
New York Times
The Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric Opera House is set to host Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker in December. The theater first opened its doors in 1894 as The Music Hall, hosting the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Australian opera singer Nellie Meba. It has also hosted the Metropolitan Opera, Ella Fitzgerald, and Oscar Hammerstein. Today, the Lyric continues moving toward the future, with ongoing renovations that will better accommodate first-class performing arts and community-based events. Upcoming performances to grace the Lyric stage include Tony Bennett and Jill Scott.
Continuing the long tradition of live music accompaniment at the Lyric in Baltimore, Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker will be performed with the finest musicians in the area. Celebrate the Holidays with Tchaikovsky’s greatest masterwork, performed LIVE alongside Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker!
